Why is the project important?

“Navy SEALs” – is a project of support the 73rd Special Forces Navy Center commandos. They have participated in the ATO from the very beginning. Before the war broke out, SEALs received the best training available in Ukrainian peace-time. However, the circumstances of war are much different and the available equipment is too poor for effectively fighting against terrorists.

The Navy SEALs project has been expanded in scope

We started the Navy SEALs project with more modest goals. However, circumstances have changed. Thus the budget of the project has been enlarged. We predicted this scenario and delivered warnings about it before. The aim stays the same: to help the SEALs become an elite fighting force.

A part of our requirements have been achieved already. It’s a great relief when people respond to our calls and due to that we become capable of helping our soldiers feel supported adequately in a war, which seems to have no rules. However, the "Achilles heels" of the Ukrainian fighters are still exposed, the enemy is aware of that and uses this knowledge against Ukraine constantly. We are not going to tolerate this.

Our greatest concern is that Ukrainians, who follow the events in the East via the media, will be lulled into complacency by the reported ceasefire. While the truth remains the ATO zone is still a hotspot of conflict and our soldiers are still fighting…and dying. Navy SEALs are also counting regular losses.

We have consulted with 73rd Special Force Navy Center fighters and listened to their view of how the situation has evolved. Through the conflict the fighters have gained experience and analyzed the capability of enemy forces compared to their own.

What is the money raised for?

The budget has been enlarged.

The list below includes the most necessary things that soldiers need to fulfill combat tasks effectively and safely. Prices are approximate, because in some cases we are given discounts by suppliers, while in other cases we have to top up expenditure, for example, for delivery etc. All the changes will be reflected in accounting reports.
